It's the day before. What is going on?

[Bombast]

Generally speaking, announcements keep getting later and later. If its not a mechpack, it wont be shown until the absolute last minute - Remember the current event? They extended day one because they made the announcement so late people were going to miss it.

I'm sure they'll release them tomorrow and blame mechcon, but truth is, everything's last minute and that's just the way things are now.

They ar gonna nerf EVERYTHING, but not tell us until 9:53am PST.

I bugged Russ on twitter. He immediately tweeted 'Yes patch notes are coming soon.'

Now we just need to guess what 'soon' means.

Took a break from forums for a bit, glad to see nothing has changed.

But seriously, show me the mech facts.


Will my Hellspawns be nerfed in some way having to do with weapon "balance" before it even arrives?
Will the invisible walls finally be fixed on ALL the maps (yes, literally every single one... even the new city map coming next)?
Will the River City statues be replaced with the likeness of Paul?

The public needs to know!

I'm pretty sure your Hellspawn was nerfed on the drawing board.

Unrelated, I really want to see what they've done to my Trebuchet. Because I know they've done something to this mech. I can feel it in my bones.

Quoting for truth and emphasis

Uh Guys, ah, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but everything at some point between now and Solaris is going to be nerf'd.... It has to be because TTK needs to take a lot longer to be something that keeps everyone's interest. If all 1x1 and 2x2 matches last 2 minutes at the most because the weapons are so lethal, no one will play !!! They did spend the amount of time and money on Solaris w/o knowing this.........

So, get ready becauuse what started in May was just a teaser for what's headed our way.

TTK is generally fine between two people. Two minutes is, in fact, perfectly fine.

Alex G. was not in today so patchnotes are a bit delayed till he gets back in. If the patch is released with the patchnotes still absent, I have been cleared to make an informal post on the balanced based changes with the patch release.

[Nightbird]

All good! My guess is there's not gonna be any nerfs this patch before the holidays, prolly in January tho...

Oh boy. "balanced based changes"
So, what does the "data" show over performing this month? Out with it. The suspense is just killing me.

This reminds me of the office I work at. Somehow with my company's vast resources, they never think about redundancy
